After Bumrah, the second big blow to Mumbai Indians! Prominent fast bowler will not be present for IPL 2023

IPL franchise Mumbai Indians will miss the pace bowlers in the upcoming season. Mumbai’s leading fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah will not play in the upcoming IPL season due to injury. In this way, the team has suffered another big blow. Fast bowler Zhai Richardson is likely to retire from the entire IPL 2023 season. It is considered almost certain that Richardson will have to withdraw from the upcoming IPL season due to the injury.

Mumbai Indians have been the most successful team in the history of IPL. Mumbai Indians, who have won five IPL trophies so far, are hoping for a sixth IPL trophy this year, but the team’s dream may remain unfulfilled amid injuries. Jasprit Bumrah has not been seen in the cricket field for a long time. A few days ago, the franchise also got confirmation that Bumrah will not play in the upcoming IPL season. Bumrah is currently undergoing surgery in New Zealand and may take a long time to recover. The Mumbai team management expected that Australian young bowler Jhye Richardson will play an important role for the team in the absence of Bumrah. But according to the latest information, Richardson will not be fit to play the entire IPL 2023.

Emotional post by Zay Richardson
Zay Richardson suffered a hamstring injury on January 4. Since then, Richardson has been out of the cricket field. Richardson announced the injury in a post on his social media account on Saturday (March 11). In this photo, the Australian fast bowler is seen being hospitalized. The caption reads, “It’s true that injuries are part of cricket. The past few years have been difficult for me. But right now I’m in a position where I can take as much effort as I can to be the best.”

Injuries are a big part of cricket, that’s a fact. Frustrating? Absolutely.

But I’m now in a scenario where I can get back to doing what I love and work bloody hard to become an even better player than before.

With the IPL 2023 season starting on March 31, Richardson may need a few more months to recover from the injury. In this case, it is almost certain that he will not play in the upcoming IPL season. Meanwhile, Richardson also withdrew from the Marsh Cup and Sheffield Shield due to injury. Currently, the Australian team is on a tour of India. After the conclusion of the Test series between the two teams, the three-match ODI series will begin on March 17. Richardson was selected in the Australian squad for the ODI series, but due to injury he did not get a chance to play in the series. Richardson was replaced by Nathan Lyon in the ODI squad. Meanwhile, two fast bowlers Bumrah and Richardson have not played in the upcoming IPL, but Mumbai’s leading fast bowler Jofra Archer will be present for the upcoming IPL season.
